Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (52.8%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. at 24.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $47,788 and has fallen 65.2% since, to $16,638 in 2025. Among psychiatry clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 164 payments — averaging $872.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
